NOTES AND COMMENTS.

An Eastern paper of March Ist has
the following in its telegraphic news:-
Professor Curtis, prominent micro
scopist, gives it as his opinion that the
pellets of ashes and mud which fell
over the section Of country round Gin.
cinnati, last week, emanated from the
Mauna Loa volcano on the Sandwich
Islands, which is now in a state OF
eruption.
The professor is probably mistaken.
AT that time the eruption was too far
past for any Of its ejecta, in such coarse
form as that stated, to be in the air.
Besides, the prevailing winds would
scarcely have carried the material to
America.

The Pain from a Pugili.t's Blow.

1t has been said that the hurts suf-
fered i'll pugilism are particularly severe,
and that but few pains equal the pain
resulting from a blow of the fist square
" and forcibly delivered upon the nose.
An incident which goes to support this
allegation is reported from Paris. A
lion tanner i'll one OF the Boulevard shows
was set upon by I powerful and irrit-
able old lion, whose cage lie had entered
according to habit in the course of an
entertainment. The beast made his at
tack without warming or particular
cause, ami in an instant the man was
upon his back between the lions paws.
The spectators screamed, thinking it
was the end of the lion tanner, but like
flash he was OH his feet, and, striking
out with his right in accurate pugilis-
tic style. landed his fist upon the lions
nose with IA spat that was heard all over
the place. The lion wheczcd and
sneezcI ami backed away, shaking his
heal and shutting his eyes rs ii dazel,
while the man stepped quickly, but
with dignity, out of the cage. The
blow was = god one. and if it had fall
len upon Il man would have undoubtedly
'.knockel him out" Evidently it made
the lion t;ngle from the spot where it
was delivered to the tip of the tail.

| don't believe that such revolution
in society was ever worked since the
world began as has been accomplished
in the Southern States within the past
twenty or twenty-five years. About
that time ago white people
thought it beneath their dignity
to lift a hand to anything. They be-
lieved that the colored people were
made to obey their commands. 1t
was a very idle people. They neglect
ed themselves and their education.
Nownote the difference. Public schools
are about as plenty, and education is
about as thoroughly systemized as in
the Northern States Ladies of society
do not think work degrading now.
Senator's daughters, millionaires'
daughters, and those of the very first
society, may be found to-day teach
ing schools and doing work about
their homes. In twenty years they
have risen from an indolent to pro-
gressive people, and are enjoying life
much more. The emigration of color
ed people from Mississippi and
Georgia has caused some stir among
the white inhabitants, as a very large
exodus will leave a paucity OF hands
to take care of the cotton crops.
believe more attention will be paid
hereafter to the education of the col
ored people of the south, for the
country cannot get along without
them.
